Need some mixes made for your dance routine? Hit me up! I'm currently available to make mixes for dance mixes for dance crews or whatever your mayt need them for.
I must first and foremost say that I am NOT a DJ, I just got into cutting music because I was fascinated in how it was done. I am not a professional.
BUT, I do offer a quick and quality service in cutting and mixing music if you need something quick in a relatively short deadline.
I do mixes for dance teams and/or dance performances. I make mixes for my dance teams Family Bizness and Teen Groov, and have had to pleasure of mixing music for Movement Project and Jayvee Dance Center.
Here are some of the mixes I've previously worked on!
If you're interested in having a mix done. Please contact me through e-mail: e3klives@gmail.com.
I've been wanting to work on something like this for a while. This is the new version of FamBiz's family crest when they transitioned from being E.S.U.I. (Elements of Style Under the Influence) to Family Bizness. I was meticulous as to how the design was going to turn out. I picked out what best represented us. Each part of the crest has a significant meaning, which I'll explain in a bit.
Current Version of the FamBiz Family Crest
I recently was inspired to revamp the current look of the crest to this current one after being inspired by 9 Surf Studios. It had taken my awhile to finish, but here it is!
Now let me walk you through the family crest:
Gold is the elevation of the mind through our practices in meditation, creative expression, and hard work.With a quiet and clear mind, we allow ourselves to simply focus and do what must be done.
The wings were placed to represent Los Angeles, city of angels. But it also means swiftness and protection. As a family, we must do what we can to protect each other from harms way.
Blue represents our pride for the team and for each other. Everyone giving their best individual effort that benefits everyone around them. This team is our family and we dance our hearts out for our family. It is the color of loyalty.
Red is the willingness to keep fighting on no matter how hard things may get. No matter what challenges present it self before us, we keep pressing through. It is the color of the Warrior.
Speakers simply represent our music and dance.
This new video was made with the great tutorials from Video Copilot! They're a great source of After Effects training and tutorials, and good quality like this is hard to find.
I had also grown tired of the previous title card of our videos, so soon after I finished the new version of the family crest. I went straight into working on this one. It took me a couple of days to finish, but voila! It turned out pretty sick and will be our new title card for a while. I hope you guys enjoy the work!
Whenever I get an idea, most of the time I stop whatever I'm doing and I just go with it before I lose the momentum. These were sketched during work, I didn't have my sketch book anywhere near by so I just a nearby notepad. These are possible shirt designs for a couple of the teams I direct: Name Taggz and Teen Groov. The sketch on the left was actually done a year ago and I just happened to find it recently. I actually still like how it looks and I might go ahead and finish it up with Illustrator. I actually still have a lot of these notepad sketches I wanna post up. Hope you guys enjoy!
An article was just written about Family Bizness on the Alhambra Source! One of the directors, Stephanie Hagberg was recently interviewed by an editor who happens to take pilates regularly at Jayvee Dance Center.
Personally, this is pretty exciting because ever since I helped start this team, it's great to see our efforts don't go unnoticed. Huge shout out to everyone who's supported us since we started.
So a little while ago when my friends and I went around Downtown LA looking for the spots from (500) Days of Summer so we could route out a plan for our dance crew's photo shoot. For those of you who have seen the movie and have actually been to Angel's Knoll, this is right above it. It looks over the park and views right into Old Downtown LA. I sketched this out as a reflection of the day. Even though we were sort of working to plan out our photo shoot. It was a nice day and it was great just walking around LA and getting to share those places with them.

When I scanned the picture in to Photoshop, however. I knew I had to play around with the picture. I wasn't sure what or how exactly. But I just got my graphire tablet and just started messing around with it right away. Right below is the result of the work. I didn't take too much time on it, just enough to get the idea. I hope you guys like it. Critiques and comments are always welcome! There's always room for improvement!
So I've currently been on the process of uploading new artwork in. I recently scanned some life art I did when I went with my girlfriend to the park. And I have some new T-Shirt designs on the way. I recently tried to get some of the animation work I did off my hard drive when I faced a dilemma. My computer isn't reading my hard drive. It says it is, but for some reason it keeps saying that I have to reformat it. I can't do that without deleting all my work on it. If you guys know any tips or links as to how I can get this thing fixed let me know. In the mean time I'll try to fix it myself before taking it in. Looking forward to sharing the new works with you guys soon!
So I was looking through my deviantart earlier today and I found this old design I made back in 2006. I wasn't too sure on how well my design skills were back then. I like how it turned out, and it think it's a a fairly simple design. I kinda think the wording could be bigger.
What do you think? I enjoy hearing comments and critiques!
Yee! Just found some old sketches I had made about a year ago and I figured I'd share on here. To be honest I haven't really had the time to just fully color any of the pieces due to my schedule. But I always enjoyed how they looked when they looked rough. You get to sort of see the process the artist put into the drawing. =]
Seeing this made me look at the past sketches I've been laying all over my sketch book. I've gotta scan those soon so you guys can check it out!
Hope you guys enjoy! Critiques and comments welcome!
A flier I designed for FamBiz's warehouse party a few months back!
Great times that night. =]
We were playing off our photoshoot which played off (500) Days of Summer.
I based the flier off one of the actual movie posters, but the thing is it was a night event and I wouldn't make sense for it to be a bright poster. So I decided to add a huge moon in the back with fire works. Along with that, I added the picture they used to transition between the days from the movie. I event got the same font that was used for it. Anyways, I hope you guys like it!
